hmmmm... reminds me of Sony (http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,117910,00.asp). I think it's a bad judgment call to write-off the feature to encode into mp3. 98% of my music library is MP3 and the rest is AAC. I do _not_ want to introduce another format, or have to re-rip all my CD's into Ogg or anythings else. Is it ok to have multiple formats... sure, but why? Audio compression formats are a dime a dozen, yet the majority of users have no desire to switch from using MP3. Also, I have an iPod... I don't want Ogg and I never will. Personally, this doesn't matter to me much either way because I don't use myth to rip, but I think it's a nice feature that any PVR with a music management plugin should have. Why degress? Unfortunantly, I'm not a developer but can it honestly be _that_ hard to accomplish these goals using MP3 versus other formats? I mean, a large large percentage of open source and commercial software over the past 3 years have been directly related to the boom of MP3s so it doesn't seem like it's got to be that hard. Either way... I don't chime in much, and in all honesty, whatever you decide I won't mind, but I just think you can't throw out the idea of encoding into MP3's that easily.
